pickI absolutely loved this. The storytelling is chef's kiss. It definitely has a Dark Crystal vibe to some extent. It was so well done and had such great depth. Definitely more than I was expecting. Themes include strained parental relationships, good vs evil, friendship, courage, and belief. It gets a little dark in spots, and not everyone has a good ending. I would definitely read this author again. (The libro.fm narrator was excellent.)
This is such a beautiful and nostalgic cover 😍

pickI love Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, Neverending Story and Willow and Lady Hawk, all the fantasy movies that I could get my hands on as a kid.
In The Shadow Glass, one of these fantasy movie worlds starts to come to life. Living puppets, an evil sorceress, cute little animal creatures, and of course, a quest. It was a really fun read, but I didn‘t love it as much as I thought I would. Still a pick, but didn‘t blow me away.
Being an 80's kid I have high hopes for this one. The embedded cover sticker tie in to the movie (in the story) is a great detail.
Holly, you‘ve spoiled me again! Thank you for the books, (the tagged was one of my most wished for, so I‘ll likely read it first!) and the Hawaiian goodies. The soap smells great, so citrusy. The bag is a great size to keep in my purse for bookstore trips 😁. And the succulent bookmarks are cute (I can look past the strange sayings 🤣.) I hope you‘re having a happy day 🎄💜.
so-soAn homage to Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, and all things Jim Henson. A director from the 80s dies, leaving it up to his son to deal with cleaning out his office and attic with his treasured props. As Jack grapples with his less-than-steller relationship with his now dead father, the puppets come alive and adventure ensues.
Definitely one for fans of 80s culture!

I really need to stop doing this. I came in for *one* book -- and these are the books I found on my way to that one book!
pickAn homage to film's like The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. A failed cult director leaves a legacy to his son which turns out to be a puppet themed fantasy movie where the two worlds of fantasy and reality collide. Now it's up to him to prevent these characters from entering our world in this magical adventure that pays tribute to 80's pop culture.
pick🎧 I loved this book! I hope someone does a special edition of it. My last book for #sharreadathon!
It‘s reminiscent of The Dark Crystal or The NeverEnding Story or Labyrinth. Like an 80‘s vibe movie. There‘s some pop culture that cracked me up.
Bob Cormac created a movie with puppets that flopped, they came to life after he died to save the world. I know, right?!
It deals with coming of age, coming to terms, fandom, a quest, etc
